What is this?



What is this?  I guess if you can read my small writing you will see it is a jar opener.  It is complicated both to sketch and to use.  When you get it on the jar correctly, the jar opens with very minimal pressure.  I works well!

For Scavenger Hunt From Life 181    https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-181-jan-21-feb-2.8642/

I sketched in the large Canson Mixed Media sketchbook with a Micron 02 black and Micron 005 red.

I think Joanna gave us this opener.

Stay warm, hope all goes well during the predicted storms.  We are ready.

Ha ha. Yes, that was one of those Kickstarter finds. It does work really well but is awkward to use. :-)

not-so-anonymous- Joanna, thanks. I thought it might have been. It does the job when nothing else works for sure. Such a slight pressure to open things. Hugs.

Good sketch of it! Lately I've been finding jars and bottles that are just impossible to open. Grrr.....

Thanks on the sketch. That opener works well. I had to use it to open a Gatorade today. That is about as small as it can open.

Looks complicated to use let alone draw. You did well.

John, thanks. I hadn't used the opener in a while but had to use it yesterday to open the gatorade. Murphy's Law I guess. Nice to "see" you.
